Old stuff deserves old gear. Armed with two film cameras, I headed to the Brimfield Antiques Show today. Rain and gray made the black-and-white even more appropriate. The wide angles are my 1976 Widelux 7, and the ‘standard’ sized photos are the 1952 Leica IIf. Both loaded with Kodak TX400 film, processed in my studio when I returned today, all ready to share the same day. I am loving seeing the world through film again. It’s beautiful.

My May visit to Brimfield Fair. Nothing purchased to speak of, but I was able to get some now Up Down photos. A series of full-frame photos looking down on. You can see the whole collection here.

One of the things I missed the most during the lost year – a day trip with my wife to Brimfield Faire. Today was hot as hell, smelled like cow crap everywhere, mud, mud and more mud, rain, thunder, lightning, sun, repeat, it was awesome. I hope it is cooler in September and I get back and enjoy it a little bit more.

I spent the day with these two walking miles and miles around the Brimfiled Faire. Molly bought a red hat right off the bat, Ray had a giant Mario strapped to his back. I, well, I am happy not being noticed. Not being noticed is not in Molly and Ray’s plan – ever. “Nice hat, Look at that Mario! Cute hat, Holy crap that’s a great Mario, Love your hat, It’s me.. Mario!” Me – trying to quietly take photos. Yet I did see tons of people I know, so I won there. But the hat was the winner – double digits comments, she could not had gotten more attention if she had a sign that said “please talk to me”. Overall it was a very pleasant day, and I had a blast with my Brimfield partners.

Went out to the May version of the Brimfield Faire today. A beutiful day to be outside enjoying other people’s stuff, even if I did not buy anything. I did collect more of my “down” series of photos.
